About the event
The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild is a 1972 comedy-drama play by Paul Zindel, not a novel, about a woman who escapes reality through old movies in her Greenwich Village candy store, leading to humorous and poignant clashes with the real world as she fantasizes her life into movie scenes. The play, which starred Maureen Stapleton on Broadway, blends fantasy and reality as Mildred deals with intruders like a wrecking crew foreman, a nun, and a TV crew, all while living in a world of cinematic daydreams. Doors and bar open for Fridays and Saturdays at 6:00 p.m. Sunday matinees doors and bar open at 2:00 p.m.
